Wallace, North Carolina 28466
Dear Mr. Moore:
The Federal review has been completed for your proposal to impact 2.06
acres of wetland to construct approximately 200 linear feet of road and create
residential lots on your property on the east side of Greenwood Avenue at the
end of Forrest Avenue off Wrightsville Avenue in Wilmington, New Hanover
County, North Carolina, and no objections have been received.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits.
Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for fills for roads
crossing waters of the United States (including wetlands and other special
aquatic sites) provided:
a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the
actual crossing;
b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled
area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200
linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites,
including wetlands;
c. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent
the restriction of, and to withstand, expected highflows and the movement of
aquatic organisms;
d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of
the United States;.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was
provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of
dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters.

Re: Project #93243
Dear. Mr. Dorney,
This letter is in response to your letter dated
4/22/93. I would like to respond by both documentation and
narrative beginning with your first paragraph.
In your first paragraph you state that you have
"...identified significant uses that would be removed by
this project." The first use you state is water storage.
While I will admit that my technical knowledge of this term
and other terms is limited, the most water I ever saw during
this extremely wet winter, and after one of the heaviest
rains in the Wilmington area, is a puddle in an
approximately 4 foot diameter depression on the western
perimeter of the property. This area is upland from the
ditch and is in the road right-of-way.
The second use that you state is streambank
stabilization. The dirt removed from the ditch is plied
along side the ditch. The height of piles of dirt vary from
5 feet to 10 feet in height from the ditch bottom. In fact,
if the piles were removed, the small flow of water would be
surface level rather than there being a ditch. What I'm
trying to say is that there is not much of ditch there nor
is there a great flow of water even with excessive rainfal?_.
At any rate, the ditch bank seems well stabilized with large
trees as well as with smaller vegetation.
The third use is pollutant removal. I assume that
pollutant removal is related to your concern about the 10
foot buffer from the ditch as stated in the second paragraph
of your letter, so I will try to address these together. Not
knowing exactly what pollutants are of concern, this issue
is difficult to address. I will start with the obvious.
Sewage is disposed of via the county sewage system, so this
disposal method should insure more than adequate protection
from this source of water pollution. For the life of me, I
can't think of other possible sources of pollution. Let me
say, however, that if I am permitted a 401 certification
that many of the trees will be left and that yards will be
landscaped, grassed, and stabilized. When one considers the
length of the lots from the road (Greenwood Avenue) to the
ditch is 100 feet and that parking will be located on
Greenwood Avenue, it would appear that this area would
provide more than adequate protection for any runoff that
might happen to find its way to the ditch. From the smell at
the ditch, noted by one of the New Hanover County planners
and by myself (and I think also by Mr. Jeff Richter, U. S.
Army Corp of Engineers), I highly question the present
quality of the water in the ditch. So I seriously doubt that
my project will jeopordize water quality. Even if the water
quality is good, I fail to see what pollutants I would be
adding.
The fourth use is wildlife habitat. I have visited the
site almost weekly (on occasion, several times a week) since
November 1992. While I am sure there must be a stray bird
that visits occasionally, I have as yet to see a single one.
Neither have I seen a squirrel, rabbit, minnow, or even a
bug. This small site is literally surrounded by development
and appears unsuitable to and uninhabited by even the most
domestically adapted wildlife species.
I will now attempt to address the question in the
second paragraph. Please refer to the enclosed map. The site
(a part of Greenwood Subdivision as designed and recorded in
1941) consists of upland and possible wetlands. As designed
the lots run from upland (west) to lower land (east). The
elevation, the ditch location, and the road and lot design
necessitate the inclusion of some low areas, some of which
will require fill, others will not, for residents to have
adequate area. The main area for fill is within and along
the road right-of-way, but there are a few areas within the
lots that will have to be filled (mostly close to the
right-of-way). But to answer your question, no, the lots
cannot be utilized without the inclusion of some low areas.
There are some other facts that I would like you to
consider on my behalf. While, I realize that each project
viewed individually,.it is my understanding that a 401
certificatiton has been issued to at least one other
developer. Recent development downstream from my site
encompasses nearly as much area as my two acres of low area.
Forrest Avenue and the county sewer have been extended
across the ditch that runs through my property. The corner
of at least two residences sit within a foot of the bank
rising from the bottom of two other ditches. My development
of these lots will be in stages of probably 3-4 lots at a
time. Ths should help with stabilization and should help
maintain water quality. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has
granted NWP,#14 and #26. The N.C. Division of Coastal
Management has also given its approval as have the other
agencies required to receive notification. These approvals
imply that these agencies have no concern about the impact
of this project. A couple of agency representatives
commented that previous and recent development and ditching

Project #93243
Dear Mr. Moore:
The Division of Environmental Management, Water Quality
Section has reviewed your plans for wetland fill for 2.0 acres of
wetlands at Greenwood-Avenue at Forrest Avenue in Wilmington in
New Hanover County for residential development. Based on this
review, we have identified significant uses which would be
removed by this project. These are water storage, streambank
stabilization, pollutant removal and wildlife habitat..
Furthermore, insufficient evidence is present in our files to
conclude that your project must be built as planned. Therefore,
we are moving toward denial of your 401 Certification.
Please provide us with information supporting your position
that your project must be constructed in wetlands. Specifically
can you construct your development on nearby upland? Please
provide a map depicting the number of lots, their sizes and
location. Also a ten foot wide buffer along the stream channel
is not sufficiently wide to protect water quality downstream.
Any documentation such as maps and narrative which you can supply
to address upland alternatives may be helpful in our review of
your 401.Certification. Please respond within two weeks of the
date of this letter.
If you have any questions, please call me at 919/733-1786.

MEMORANDUM
TO: John Dorney
Water Quality Planning
FROM: Richard B. Hamilton ?J,G?la?.c(?
Assistant Director ??````
DATE: May 4, 1993
SUBJECT: 401 Water Quality Certification for Jack W. Moore,
at the end of Forrest Ave. off Wrightsville Ave.,
Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina.
Biologists on the Wildlife Resources Commission staff
have reviewed the subject permit application and are
familiar with habitat values of the project area. An on-
site investigation was conducted on April 6, 1993 for the
purpose of assessing construction impacts to wildlife and
fisheries resources. Our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661
et. seq.).
Plans call for the filling of approximately 2 acres of
404 wetlands to develop residential lots. An access road
and utility extensions have been constructed at the site.
Lot boundaries are not shown on the site drawing provided.
Most of the affected wetlands support relatively old growth
vegetation including black gum, red maple, red bay and sweet
gum. Favorable habitat exists for raccoon, opossum, muskrat
and a variety of songbirds. The headwater of an unnamed
tributary to Bradley Creek (classified SC High Quality
Waters) is adjacent to the site. Though small, the stream
runs clear and supports mosquitofish and algal growth.
As proposed the project would result in the loss of
approximately 2 acres of relatively undisturbed wetlands
providing good quality wildlife habitat and a buffer to
stormwater runoff. Stream sedimentation from earth moving
activities could occur and impact Bradley Creek downstream.
No attempts to avoid or mitigate these impacts are described
Memorandum Page 2 May 4, 1993
by the applicant. In our opinion, the proposed work would
contribute individually and cumulatively to water quality
degradation and result in loss of existing uses. Also, we
find the project to be inconsistent with our Policies and
Guidelines for Conservation of Wetlands and Aquatic
Habitats. Consequently, we recommend that certification not
be issued. Efforts to locate lots in such a way as to
minimize wetland filling would enable a more favorable
review by this agency.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on
this application. If you have questions or need additional
assistance, please call Dennis Stewart, Habitat Conservation
Program Manager at (919) 752-3270; (919) 528-9886 or Bennett
Wynne, District 2 Fisheries Biologist at (919) 522-9736.
